Fuel Gauge Issue

Jul 21st, 2002, 19:59

I've got a 1996 Vovlo 440 GS with a 1.8 petrol engine. Problem is that when I fill the fuel tank right up the fuel gauge will never show full, most it has shown is 3/4 tank. I have taken the fuel sender unit out and have cleaned it up but still the same. have measured the resistance accross the unit and get 38 ohms with full tank and 250 ohms on an empty tank... Does anyone know if this is ok? or know what the problem could be?

A strange problem I know, but, any help will be much appreciated.
